Thanks for everyone's help! I've been pre-approved too now. For any AT&T customers, did you see this screen? We won't be given physical SIM cards now? I just checked my iPhone 12 Pro and it has a physical SIM card. Hope this doesn't cause any problems! 😮

Interesting...in past years, the SIM card has come with the phone. I did see that AT&T page, but I guess I didn't read it thoroughly. We'll see, I guess!

PayPal isn't an option on the pre preorder, so looks like I'll have to wait until Friday to order mine.

Actually, will the PayPal option be available on Friday? I know I can order other products with PayPal, but maybe pre-orders are excluded?

Can’t remember if UPS still ships iPhones (vs FedEx), but if you’re looking for 4 free months of UPS MyChoice Premium… here on SlickDeals. Read post and comments! I remember @TheYayAreaLiving mentioning something about looking for a deal over the weekend.

The only issue with that is UPS wouldn’t let me pick a 2 hour window on iPhone launch day. They said something about too many deliveries that day, so I had mine held at the hub for pickup when they opened. It beat waiting around all day for UPS.

Wait! Does this work if you have an existing account?


Update: It worked! Expires on 11/14/2021 now.

I owe you $19.99, thank you. You rock.

@StaceyMJ86

Wish you were upgrading your iPhone.

If I want to buy the phone through Apple do I just select the “any carrier option” in the Apple Store app and then is it possible to just take the SIM card from my iPhone 12 Pro and put it in the new phone and that will transfer my number to the new phone? Is that how it works?

All set for my pre-order! I do have a question for those that have Verizon... on one particular page, it said that the new iPhone models activate on eSIM and will not arrive with a physical SIM card installed. Sounds like I won't need a physical SIM card in order for the 13 PM to connect to the cellular network. Although, it sounds like I will need to use WiFi to set up?
